Initial impression: lost some braking modulation but the bite is intense. More to follow.

Back side bleeders??? Can someone please explain? Is there another location on the same caliper that needs to be bled?

I'm having the same issue...No ABS light...no leaks...no more bubbles. Pedle is almost ok feeling...approx. 20% mushier than stock when it should feel firm as hell. ABS was unplugged during bleed.

There are bleeders on both sides of the sport calipers... have to do both.
